<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2225426, member: 26302&quot;]Doug reminds me of a grumpy old SOB of a dealer I knew 35 years ago. Reputation for just being a jerk, but the truth was he was just tired of everyone not wanting to really put in the effort and learn. Once you got his respect for putting in the effort, there was not a better teacher in the world to learn from. No, he never sugar coated things, but I never learned more from any other numismatist than him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, I am not calling Doug a grumpy old SOB, but.... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No, Doug is old school and talks straight. Way too many people in this world and hobby simply want it sugar coated and be told &quot;how wonderful they are doing&quot; and &quot;look how smart you are&quot; constantly like some would like. He states facts matter of factly and call out the BS of changing grade standards. I can think of few here I would listen to over Doug regarding coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
